The Wimbledon Championships, formally known as "The Championships, Wimbledon" and "Wimbledon" for short, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. Held annually every June/July, Wimbledon is the third tournament in the "Tennis Grand Slam", following both the Australian Open and the French Open in January and May respectively, and preceding the US Open held in September. The tournament has been hosted by the All England Club in the Wimbledon neighborhood of London since 1877. Unlike the other three major tournaments, Wimbledon is played on grass courts, tennis’ original surface. Wimbledon lasts for a two weeks with the second Saturday and Sunday reserved for the Ladies’ and Men’s Singles Finals respectively. The current Men’s Singles Champion is Roger Federer who was won Wimbledon seven times and has seventeen total Grand Slam titles. Serena Williams is the Ladies’ Single’s Champion and has won the tournament five times for a total of fourteen Grand Slam titles.

Wimbledon is known for strong traditions which still exist today. For example competitors in the tournament are still held to strict "tennis whites" dress codes. The main court used for important matches and the finals is Centre Court, which has a capacity of 15,000. In 2009, a retractable roof was installed to accommodate for London’s typical rainy weather. There is also a premier box, also known as the "Royal Box" which is used for members of the UK’s Royal Family and other distinguished guests. Tickets for Wimbledon are sold to the general public via public ballot or lottery. Wimbledon rules do not allow a limit of games played in the final set; because of this, the longest match ever played at the tournament was between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut in 2010 which lasted 183 games and took three days to play.

Wimbledon 2017 Tickets are History in the Making

When you buy tickets to Wimbledon 2017, you buy tickets to tennis history. Wimbledon has seen the best, the most stylish, the powerful and the cool come and smash the furry green ball across the net for decades. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club began holding its tennis tournament in 1877, in the days when competitors turned up in boat-pumps, flannel trousers and white cardigans. As the years passed, and tennis players became more athletic (and Wimbledon tennis tickets sold in ever-greater numbers), the uniform began to change; the celebrated Fred Perry, born in Cheshire, England, brought his notorious forehand snap and a new sense of style; Perry's association with European sportswear designers conjured the Fred Perry tennis clothing range, which appeared along with others, like France's Lacoste. A few decades later, "the Iceman", Bjorn Borg, appeared on the scene, wearing the Fila tracksuit named after him, and with his trademark headband he swept all challengers. Wimbledon tickets were now heavily-coveted items, and the craze of camping out to guarantee tickets to the Centre Court was taking hold. Borg was usurped by a man known as "Superbrat", the excellent John McEnroe, the American who would scream, "You cannot be serious!" at umpires, and throw tantrums whenever he failed to obtain a result. McEnroe was a phenomenon, his Nike gear going head-to-head with Borg's Fila, and eventually coming out on top. From Pete Sampras to Andre Agassi to Stefan Edberg to Boris Becker, to Roger Federer, the game of lawn tennis has evolved and become more exciting. And the women's game has been the same way, with stars like Virginia Wade, Martina Navratilova, Billie-Jean King, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, and Chris Evert all causing demand for Wimbledon tickets to shoot through the roof.
